Thailand 2

As I suggested a few weeks ago, Thailand's chart is looking very troubled these days. November will likely bring a new problem to the fore, as will March and April when Saturn makes it next station near Thailand's Moon - Sun square.

For the current period, I think the middle of Novemnber is most dangerous, say around the 16th when Mercury stations.

Mars will still be under the affliction of Ketu in the 6th house of open enemies and Saturn sits atop the IC while aspecting 6H Neptune. This may also suggest more about diseases, although if the enemy is hidden or secretive (as many Islamic cells are), then this could be in keeping with an attack, possibly on Bangkok itself. I know that all attacks so far have occurred in the southern provinces. An attack on Bangkok would be shocking and a major escalation.

Given the afflictions are also present in the chart of King Bhumipol (Dec 5 1927), it should be a significant enough event to make the media cycle here in the West. The King's chart can be seen as a proxy chart for the country as a whole. He has Sun and Saturn in Scorpio which is falling under the aspect of Rahu. The Scorpio affliction is more in keeping with diseases and poisons.

To my mind, the most likely candidates are either a worsening of avian flu or a major terror attack by Muslim extremists.

I will try to outline the case for each in the coming days.
